Record
collecting is a trip with no destination, just a plethora of highly satisfying
layovers. The minute you finally find that one album you’ve been coveting
forever, you’re already dreaming of another distant, elusive prize.
You spend a chunk of time marinating in a specific genre, niche or artist,
only to be swayed by new genres and sub-genres, forever greener pastures...

Garnacha. It's just fun to say. GAR-NA-CHA. As
fun as it is to say, it is even more fun to drink. Garnacha is the Spanish
name for the grape that we know as Grenache. It is best known as a blending
grape in Southern France, a vital part of Cotes-du-Rhones and Chateau-neuf-du-Papes.
It pops up every once in a while in California, usually in blends, rarely
by itself. In fact it is not often seen on its own, except for of course in
Spain.
